If I didn’t have work I would have read this in a day because it’s that good!!! Alex and her story will completely engulf you and you’ll feel like you’re by her side in this toxic workplace. This was not an easy read but it’s one that I think is so important! It touches on many topics that I feel like aren’t talked about enough in corporate culture. This book broke my heart but it left me angry and inspired!
Graphic: Sexual assault and Toxic relationship
Moderate: Drug use

This book is fact paced and gives the inside scoop into BigLaw, something I had no idea about. This story follows Alex, a first year female associate at one of the biggest law firms in New York City, as she ventures into her first job after law school. She gets the inside scoop of how demanding and competitive her job, while learning what areas of law she does and does not want to focus on. This book is broken up into 5 parts and is so hard to put down!
Moderate: Rape and Misogyny
Minor: Sexual violence, Toxic relationship, Suicidal thoughts, Sexism, Racism, and Physical abuse
